Nollywood star actress, Adunni Ade has sounded a note of warning to businesses using her image for brand promotion without her consent.
The 50-year-old Ratnik actress disclosed this via her official Instagram page on Tuesday.
In the post to her 2.2m followers, the Boss of All Bosses star noted that no brand should ask her for a tag or report if she buys their products.
Speaking further, the Dairy of a Lagos Girl actress revealed that she doesn’t accept freebies for tags because plenty brands “pay me heavy to have me influence for them.”
As such she threatened to legally deal with brands who refuse to heed to her warning.
“I have something I would like to get off my chest. I buy from a lot of Nigerian brands, emphasis on “BUY” If I happen to buy from you, and we both pretend not to know each other (which isn’t a problem) until after payment has been made on my side.
“Please I beg of you, do not ask for a tag, or a repost. I’m not one of those who look for free handouts for a tag. If I like, I buy.”
“I don’t look for free items to help “publicize “or grow your page. I have single-handedly helped a lot of brands grow as well without collecting a dime and also promoting their business which is as my spirit leads.
“A lot of brands pay me heavy to have me influence for them. I do not think it is fair on them.
“Please note, I don’t like to talk too much. I let “serving” do the talking. I go all the way! I work too hard for my coins now! Let us all know when to play o! DO NOT USE MY IMAGE TO PUBLICIZE YOUR WORK WITHOUT APPROVAL. Peace,” she said.
